VeggieMate · Cook & Plan
Balanced veggie plates,
protein and all.
Build a plate in one tap: half veg, a quarter protein, a quarter carbs, from real vegetarian recipes. See the protein in every recipe, plan your week, and get a grocery list of only what you're missing.

Questions or
feedback?
Dinner should work for everyone.
A cooking app gets used with floury hands, tired eyes, big text, screen readers and one thumb. I want VeggieMate to be easy to use whoever and however you cook, and I keep working on it with every release.
- Text that grows. VeggieMate follows your text size setting, including the largest accessibility sizes. Lists and headers stack instead of cutting words off.
- Works with your screen reader. Buttons, chips, recipe cards and even the Plate Builder's plate have clear labels for VoiceOver on iPhone and iPad, and TalkBack on Android. Each part of the plate is its own button, with actions to lock, pin or clear it.
- Easier to read. I have been deepening the greens and oranges behind white text so it is easier to read, and I am still working through the rest.
- Easier to tap. Chips, cards and buttons are sized to be comfortable to hit.
- Calm when you ask for it. If you turn on Reduce Motion, animations settle down. Cooking sounds and feedback can be switched off in Profile.
It is not perfect yet, and you know what works for you better than I do. If something is hard to use, such as a button you can't reach, text that gets cut off, or a screen reader that reads something strangely, please tell me. I read every message and fix what I can, quickly.
